“Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing” (Proverbs 12:18, NIV)
Let me take the time and share this word with you today. The Bible tells us that life and death are in the power of our words. We can use our words to build people up and encourage them or we can just as easily bring destruction.
When we use our words to bring healing, the Bible says that we are wise. Choose to be wise today and choose healing words. Look for the best in others and build them up. Choose healing words over gossip; choose words of freedom and peace over anger and judgment. Let your words encourage the people in your life by speaking strength, hope and victory.
Remember, words are seeds. When you use your words to bring healing, you’ll reap a harvest of health, strength and life in return. As you are faithful with your words, God will increase your influence. He will increase His favor and blessing upon you and lead you in the good life He has prepared for you.
I for one, know that I have spoke words out of anger, hurt, or fear. I know that words are powerful, even when we do not see the end result. I ask blessings over your words and my words. So today let us pray that the words of our present strengthen the words of our future.
Our Heavenly Father, today I choose to be wise and bring healing to others with my words. I ask for an increase of Your power and ability in my life so that I can live to honor You in all I do.
In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Have a blessed day,
Jerry
